Around the world, play is a cornerstone of childhood. When we think of play, we think of fun, creative, symbolic and social experiences. Yet play is not just an exclusive form of enjoyment for young children. In fact, play is a powerful mechanism for supporting the development of a wide range of skills in learners of all ages - including adults! In this session, we will explore the concept of Learning through Play. We’ll explore what it means, what it looks like, and how you can harness it to deliver engaging, meaningful learning experiences in the classroom and beyond.
